Application filed July 9, A1908.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, PAUL BNARD, citizen of France, residing at Place Auban Moet, Epernay, Marne, in the Republic ol France, have invented new and useful improvements in Gas-Distributors, of which the following` is a specification.

This invention relates to an extremely practical and simple apparatus intended for electrically controlln from a distance, the gas ted to gas burners.

rlllhe annexed drawing` shows an embodiment of this apparatus.

Figure l is an elevation, the outer casing beiing,1 in section. Fig. 2 is a plan. Fig. 3 is an end elevation, the outer casing being' in section and the gas check being in the open position. l is a section on the line A A of Fig. l. Fig. 5 is a rear view, the outer casing' being` in section. Fig. 5 is an end elevation, showing the connection ot1 the wires, the outer casing; being` in section. 7 shows the chamber in wl'iich the gas circulates. S is a section oit the gas check. 1

Fig. 9 shows the chamber with the gas check in closed position.

rEhe apparatus comprises essentially: a metal chamber' d, bent to horse-shoe 4crin, the interior or which forms two compartments l) and c separated by a partition d. These two compartments connected, one to the inlet, the other to the outlet of the gas by two threaded iol-nts c and j'. l

@ne of the sides of the chamber o is a smooth plate, ground and perforated with two slots g and 7L correspond!" f' compartments b and c. lt carries a pivot i on which oscillates a rectangular box y', perforated also with two holes adapted to register with those in the chamber a. These two parts are held in contact by ineans ol a blade spring- 7c which serves to hold the two ,ground faces one against the other so to insure a tight joint. "ulation is effected by a nut and -iam-nut as to prevent loosening.

ln one of tac positions ci the oscillator the slots g 7L and Z m are superposed and eilect communication between the compartments l) and c through the intermediary of the box y'. ln the second position (Fig. 9) the slots are covered up and communication between the eas inlet and outlet is interrupted. The oscillations of the gas-check corresponding to these two positions are electrically effected by means of the connections shown at Fig. 6. The oscillator is provided, on its lateral face,

with two polar plates n and 0 which are opposite two electro magnets p and g placed in the hollow of the metal block a of horse shoe form, and are intended to determine the passage of the gas or its obturation, by means of the above described device.

it. protectingI cover t surrounds the apparatus.

The advantages ci this system consist essentially in this that the stabilityoi the oscillater which is balanced permits of operating the apparatus no matter what be its position.

Shocks have no influence on its operation. rllhe inlet and outlet of the may be in any direction and the iras does not circulate nor even penetrato either into the casing` or around the opening` and closingl members.

The apparatus only requires a very wealr current for its operation and insures a tight joint. lt is on this account superior to the i known systems usin I' valves cocks conical valves, balls, etc.

Having now described. my invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

An apparatus of the class described compising,` a casing, a boi; therein divided into two compartments, one cor partinent having an inlet and the other an outlet, and one face of the box being ground and having a slot at each end communicating with the compartments respectively, a second box pivoted on the first and having' a ,around face coacting' with the ground face of the iirst box and said face ha *ing* pair of slots therein adapted to register with the slots in the first box, an adjustable spring for holdingx the second bonr against the first box, two polar plates carried by one face of the second boi; and two electro-magnets in the casing adapted to act alternately on the pole pieces to oscillate the second box, and means of oscillating said box by hand.

ln testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
